Hi! Sorry for taking too long to update this story...Please R&R...thanks! Need to know what you think

Chapter 18

Disclaimer: I do not own ALIAS..don't sue me...this is all from my head based on my love for the show. This goes the same for Jason Bourne from the Bourne series by Robert Ludlum and which ever production company that has rights over it, they are not mine.

Somehow Dixon's words gave Sydney a sense of déjà vu, when her mother walked into the CIA reception area three years ago, only to betray them and escape.

"It's your mother's sister, Sydney, Yelena Derevko

Sydney did not know how to respond to what Dixon just told her, only the fact that her mother's sister, her aunt is in the CIA's custody, obviously someone who knows a lot for the CIA to be interested in what she has to say.

Again the reality that she is not from a normal family was astounding her once again. It was almost a miracle that she was even born with the controversy that surrounds the lives in her family.

When she found her voice, "Have you talked to her?"

"Apparently she was part of the Covenant until she quit just a few days before coming here yesterday."

Sydney found her voice, "Is what she saying accurate?"

"The CIA has long since had the assumption that one if not all three Derevko sisters are part of the Covenant, now we have Yelena, with Katya in our custody too, which makes it two confirmed Derevko sisters inside the Covenant."

Sydney nodded, "There is a chance that my mother is part of the Covenant too."

Dixon gave a small nod, "Although personally, for your sake, I would hope that is not the case."

Sydney was grateful to hear those words, no matter how uncertain they are, she understood what Dixon meant, all the things the Covenant has wrecked over her life, learning that her mother is part of the group and still let them do what they did to her life would make the hurt inside of her triple. Being her friend, Dixon has time and again shown his loyalty to her and protects her feelings.

"They will be a briefing in a few minutes to update the others of what had transpired, I only told this to you beforehand to give you a heads up."

"Thank you, Dixon I appreciate it."

"Remember Sydney, I may be your boss, but I am your friend too."

Sydney smiled at him, "I know, and I won't forget."

"Yesterday afternoon, the CIA had a walk-in, someone who has admitted to be a high-ranking member of the Covenant, and she is willing to help us bring the Covenant down." Dixon started the briefing as he look towards the five other people in the room; Jack, Vaughn, Weiss, Sydney and Jason.

"She will be transported into the cell within this facility and be questioned by only the people in this room."

Vaughn spoke up, "What do we know about her?"

"We have a few files about her sisters, in fact we have one of her sisters in our custody, the woman is Yelena Derevko." Dixon answered while pointedly looking at Jack's still stoic façade.

Weiss decided to throw in something to lighten up the otherwise should-be serious meeting, "People from that family just loves to be a walk-in of the CIA which they know will throw everyone in the loop." No one so much twitch a facial muscle in his attempt.

"Does she have any demands in exchange for information?" it was Jason this time, in full knowledge of who Yelena Derevko was to the CIA and to his life, having been debriefed about it once he was fully assigned to the Task Force in handling the Covenant.

Dixon shook his head, "No one has yet made arrangements with Yelena Derevko, and her statement of willingness to cooperate came from her statement that she had submitted." Dixon look into the room, "I would like one of you to be the first to talk to her, and more or less decipher if she can trusted or not."

Jack face remained stoic, Dixon's proposal to the room eliciting no response from him, the attention the turned towards Sydney and Jason, which one would be the first to talk to their new aunt.

Sydney spoke up, "I'll go."

Dixon gave a nod of agreement, "She will be here in two hours. Dismissed."

As they filed out of the room, Vaughn caught up to Sydney and held her arm to suggest in silence that they stay behind in the room.

Sydney turned to Vaughn, expectant to what he has to say, she had basically guessed what he would tell her, and she was right. "Are you sure you are okay talking to her?"

She nodded, "I have to face her one day, it might as well be now, while the hurt is still there."

"Sydney she allowed what the Covenant did to you, hell she might be the one who ordered it."

"I know, that is why I need to talk to her, to stop me from making more assumptions." Sydney answered back.

"Be strong okay? Do not break in front of her; she may use it against you."

"I won't."

"I love you and I am here to talk after alright?"

"I love you too. Now I've to go review her statement." With a small kiss on his cheek she left the room for her desk.
